Objectives Sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) is a molecular marker of sperm chromatin health. Elevated SDF is associated with male infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, and failure of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). In 2021, the sixth edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) Manual for the Laboratory Examination and Processing of Human Semen has listed SDF as an extended test of semen that can be ordered under certain circumstances. However, the manual neither explained the indications for testing nor provided clear guidance on diagnostic thresholds.

This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to identify the main risk factors for nephrolithiasis in Asian populations, with comparisons to European and American populations. Using a comprehensive literature search across PubMed, Science Direct, and ResearchGate, in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, we synthesized data from 11 geographically diverse studies. Our findings reveal substantial population-specific differences in nephrolithiasis risk factors, particularly familial history, water consumption, and smoking patterns. In Asian populations, a 60% increase in risk was associated with a family history of nephrolithiasis. In the meantime, drinking sources also affected nephrolithiasis risk, with the consumption of boiled water being associated with a 25% increase in risk compared to consumption of bottled or mineral water. These findings highlight the importance of tailoring preventive strategies and treatments to specific risk factors, taking into account regional variations, and call for additional research to understand the complex interaction between genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors in the development of nephrolithiasis.

Background Urothelial bladder carcinoma (UBC) is usually detected during work-up for hematuria. Cystoscopy and/or contrast-enhanced imaging are the gold standard tools for UBC diagnosis, despite limited by being invasive, expensive and low yield in small flat tumors.Objectives To assess the diagnostic performance of urine-based DNA methylation of six genes (GATA4, P16, P14, APC, CDH1 and CD99) for UBC detection in patients with hematuria.Patients and methods Voided urine was collected from consecutive patients presented with hematuria for urine cytology and DNA methylation assay of the assigned genes using methylation-specific Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Further assessment by office cystoscopy and imaging with subsequent inpatient cystoscopic biopsy for positive findings was done. The diagnostic characteristics of DNA methylation and urine cytology were assessed based on its capability to predict UBC.Results We included 246 patients in the study with identified macroscopic hematuria in 204 (82.9%) patients. Positive cytology was found in 78 (31.7%) patients. DNA methylation of GATA4, P16, P14, APC, CDH1 and CD99 genes was identified in 127 (51.6%), 52 (21.1%), 117 (47.6%), 106 (43.1%), 90 (36.6%) and 71 (28.9%) patients, respectively. The sensitivity of the assigned genes for UBC detection ranges from 35% (95%CI: 31–39) to 83% (95%CI: 79–87). Optimal specificity (SP) (100%) was noted for P16, APC and CDH1 genes. While for the other genes (GATA4, P14 and CD99), the SP was 95% (95%CI: 92–98), 96% (95%CI: 92–99) and 97% (95%CI: 93–99), respectively. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, all genes exclusively demonstrated independent prediction of UBC. On receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analysis, all tested genes methylation showed superior area under the curve (AUC) when compared to urine cytology.Conclusions We have developed a novel urine-based DNA methylation assay for detection of UBC in patients with hematuria with superior diagnostic performance and independent predictive capacity over urine cytology.
